To all 'whom 'it' may concern: f

Be it known vthat I, ALGERNON PORTER TRUNDLE, a citizen of they United States, vresidin at Perryville, in the county of Perry and tate of Arkansas, have invented a new and useul Im Magazine-Pisto I specification.

- vide a positive lock for the searl so that it canvide the pisto This invention` relatesto pistols-and more particularly the object being to provide a'pistolin which the introducing'of a cartridge, cockin pistol and extraction ofthe accom lished automaticallythe bullet passing throughthe barrel.b Y Another ob'ect of my invention isA to p11-lovide the pistolwitha sprin actuated sli g barrel to which the lever or operating the mechanism of the pistol isconnected. Another ob'ect of my 'invention is to prolwith' a magazine' tube so constructed that -the cartrid e will be securel held in place, while being ed and one whic will release the same tached tothe pistol. A Another oblect of my invention ,is to 4proempty s ell are not be moved when the carrier block is in its osition. further object is toprovide vmeans g the carrier block its lowered A st for locv position.

Another obect of my invention is tok provide the pisto with a cartridge stop so that the cartridge on the carrier-block will be held in alinement with will be guided therein. l

With these objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the drawings A' indicatestlie pistol which is provided with a orwardly projecting cylinder C at its upper edge havin a ded Interiorly oppositely disposed lo depending flange with an ope 'tudi- ,nal grooves C? are formed inthe cylin er adjacent its end, connected together by. spaced poves C3 in which the spacedoppositel 'dposed ribs D of a smaller and shorter cyfI in er D, are adapted to fit and securely lock the two cylinders together. A flange Dz is formed on the end of the cylinder D prof vided'with a depending portion D? having an' opening forme therein, adapted toregister with the opening the depending ange C. The lower edge of the depen portion D3 is lprovided with a notch D4 a a ted to t over a lu C4 on the depending ange C of the c lin er C.

' A arrel` F having a beveled inner end is arranged in the inner'end of the eylinderC and with aV reduced portion F which extends out through the cylinder D. A coilys ring Dls surrounds the reduced portion F o the barrel, one end bearing' against theshoulder formed by the reduced ortion and the other end bearing againstt e shoulder D6 formed by reducing a ortion of the inner end of the cylinder D, a ted to force the barrel backwardly after it ihas been carried forwardly by the bullet. The barrel is also reduced, adjacent its inner end forming a 'movement of the barrel.

barrel from turning in the cyhnder by the twistin of the bullet carried by the rifle.

A coar G rejects out from the frame under the tube having an inclined lower edge and provided with a longitudinal tapering groove G in its upper side and a transverse groove Gl in its lower side in which a band H slidably mounted on the end of a magazine tube I, havin oppositely disposed cut-out portions, is a a ted to fit when the tube is shoved in the co ar. A fiat spring catch J 1s secured to the tube and extends out over the forward portion of the band ada ted to engage the cartrid e in the tube an hold them 1n lace. It-wi be readil seen as the tube is s oved forward the ban will be ulled towards the end of the tube, which force the s ring catch up i'nto the longitudinal groove o? the collar and out of engagement with the cartridges in the tube and allow the cartridges to be shoved out of the tube b afollower K carried by a coil-spring K an in the outer end of the magazine tube into the frame as will be hereinafter fully described.

One side of the frame is provided with a removable plate A which is-secured thereto by a bolt A so that it can be readily removed so that the works can be repaired, when desired. A slot As is formed in the plate adjacent its upper end througlh which extends a machine screw L, Whic threaded bar formed in a cut-out portion of the end of the barrel and on which is mounted the reduced apertured end M of alever M which is 1sprovided with an enlarged curved portion having an arm M pro'ectiplg therefrom which is provided with a ug 4 adjacent its end and a pin M6 at its end ada ted to fit over and rest on the curved hoo N of a s ring actuated hammer N which is mounte on a bolt N7l in the forward end and works in a slot formed in the up er ed e of the frame. The hammer is provi ed wit a shoulder having the usual notch in which the pointed end of the spring actuated sear O is a apted to catch when the hammer is shoved backwardly by the lever. The lower end of the sear O is provided with a shoulder O" adapted to be engaged b a spring-actuated ivoted arm P mounte on a sprmg actuate trig er P above the lug P which trigger is pivota ly mounted at its u per end in apertured ears formed on a wall 4 of the frame, and extends out through a slot in the frame having a guard A5 secured to the frame over the same. Y

The` lug M4 of the arm M is adapted to engage the upper end of a vpivoted pawl Q is secured in av mounted on the wall A4 of the frame when carried forwardly by the barrel and throws the pawl'out of a notch formed in the end of a carrier block R havin a grooved up er face provided with a beve ed forward e ge and which is provided with spaced bores in its under side, in which arek secured tubes R in which work ins R secured to the bottom of the frame. l he pins are surrounded b coilsprin R adapted to force the bloc upward y so as to receive a cartridge from t e ma azine and carry the same up in alinement wit the barrel. A slot is formed in the side of the frame in which is mounted a sprin actuated cartrid e stop S having a groove u per angled en S having a beveled edge w ch is ada ted to be forced into en agement with t e cartridge by the inc 'ned shoulder R* of the carrler coming into engagement with the beveled lower end S of the stop so that cartrid es will be held in alinement with the barre so that when the barrel is forced backwardly by the sprin after being iiredthe cartridge will be guide into the same. l

As .the barrel is moved backwardly the oint M of the enlargement of the lever M is rou ht into engagement with the inclined sho der of the carrier-block which will press the vblock downwardly into alinement with the magazine tube, so as to receive another cartridge. Mounted under the carrier block on a post T', secured to the bottom of the' frame, is the apertured end of a s ring actuated lever T having a hooked en Ts and an upwardly projecting lug Tz which is adapted to be engaged b the carrier-block for throwing the hooke end T3 out of engagement with the scar so that the trig er can force the sear out of engagement wit i The lever is normally adapted to engage the sear and prevent the same from being moved by the trigger when the block is forced upwardly. s g actuated pin U is t e frame Iprin varranged in t e breech-block V o adaptedto be forced into enga ement with the cartridge in the barrel by t e hammer, when the trigger is pulled whichwill force the sear backwardly out of engagement with the notch of the hammer. A spring extractor W is mounted in the breech-block of the frame, adapted to engage the rim of the shell of the cartridge when the barrel is moved forward the bullet and hold it up against the breec `block so that when Vthe carrierblock is moved l u Wardl the cartridge thereon will strike t e shel and throw it out of an opening in the top of the frame.

The operation of the iplistol is as follows Themagazine tube is led with cartridges and laced in the collar ofthe frame and pulle forward so as to release the cartridges, so that the follower will force a cartrid e on the carrier-block as the barrel is shove forward which vcan be readily `done by pressing the hammer.Y
